Explanation:
Hello there!
1) In this case, for these calorimetry problems, we can realize that since the temperature increases the reaction is exothermic because it is releasing heat to solution, that is why the temperature goes from 22.0 °C to 28.6 °C.
2) Now, for the total heat released by the reaction, we first need to assume that all of it is absorbed by the solution since it is possible to assume that the calorimeter is perfectly isolated. In such a way, it is also valid to assume that the specific heat of the solution is 4.184 J/(g°C) as it is mostly water, therefore, the heat released by the reaction is:
3) Finally, since the enthalpy of reaction is calculated by dividing the heat released by the reaction over the moles of the solute, in this case LiCl, we proceed as follows:
